Stock Gifts

Giving stock through electronic transfer is the easiest method when a donor maintains holdings in a brokerage account. The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, is the clearinghouse for electronic security transfers. Each brokerage firm has a specific DTC number. When you wish to make a gift of stock, please provide the following information to the transferring broker:

Account Name: John Austin Cheley Foundation

Account Number: 4760-6054

DTC Number: 0164, Code 40

Clearing Broker: Charles Schwab & Company

Reference: {Donor’s Name}

Please alert the Foundation’s Development Director before the transfer so that we can make arrangements with the broker to receive the stock. The Foundation cannot sell an unidentified security. At the same time, please indicate the purpose of the contribution, such as an annual gift, a memorial gift, a pledge payment, or funds for a planned gift. Stock Certificates and Stock Powers: If you send a stock certificate that is in your name, a letter of intent must be included. Under separate cover, please send a signed stock power. The Foundation does not recommend sending signed certificates. Stock powers are available from the Foundation’s Executive Director or from your broker. On the stock power, your signature is the only item that is needed. If the certificate is in the Foundation’s name, no stock power is needed. The process for re-registering stock certificates (transferring the certificate into the Foundation’s name) can take from two to four weeks.

Stock Certificates should be mailed to:

John Austin Cheley Foundation 1420 N. Ogden St.Suite 102

Denver, CO 80218

Certificates that have been re-registered to the John Austin Cheley Foundation should include a letter identifying the donor and the purpose of the gift. Please feel free to email the Development Director with any questions or if you would like to transfer mutual fund shares.

Planned Giving

Planned gifts, such as bequests or charitable trusts, are an advantageous way to provide for a future gift to the John Austin Cheley Foundation. You can pay forward the power of the camp experience now and provide for yourself at the same time.

Planned giving involves providing for a future gift through your financial and estate plans. You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime, a gift that gives you guaranteed income for life, or a gift that protects your assets. You can designate your gift as an annual contribution or establish an endowed campership, depending on the value of the contribution.

Other Gifts:

Memorial and Honorary Gifts

These unique gifts are in memory of or in honor of family and/or camp friends. We recognize these names in the Annual Report. We will also send a notecard to honorees or persons designated by you informing them of your contribution.

Workplace Giving

You can double your donations with matching gifts. Check with your Human Resources Department, as many companies match their employees’ charitable gifts. It’s a great way to make your contribution dollars go further.

Donor Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a type of giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support your favorite charities. An increasingly popular charitable vehicle, DAFs are an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and facilitate your strategic philanthropic goals.

How does it work?

– Establish your DAF by making an irrevocable, tax-deductible donation to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program

Tax-efficiency – Contributions are tax-deductible and any investment growth in the DAF is tax-free. It is also easy to donate long-term appreciated securities, eliminating capital gains taxes and allowing you to support multiple charities from one block of stock.

Family legacy – A DAF is a powerful way to build or continue a tradition of family philanthropy.

No start-up costs – There is no cost to establish a donor-advised fund. However, there are often minimum initial charitable contributions to establish the DAF (typically $5,000 or more).

No transaction fees – Once approved, 100% of your recommended grant goes to your qualified public charity of choice.

Privacy if desired – Donors may choose to remain anonymous to the grant recipient.

The John Austin Cheley Foundation is a qualified charitable corporation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service. Gifts to the Foundation qualify for deductions for income and estate tax purposes.

Testimonials

At camp I learned how to take chances and be brave. On one of the ropes courses at camp, I was able to go upside down for the first time. Before camp, I most likely would have never made this decision on my own.
